MSI are ridiculous with their amount of 970's

[othertomperson]

Did you not even read the first paragraph?

 

This GPU isn't just a GTX 970 with a different paint job, but this model has a full cover back plate and willl also ship with what MSI call a "Special Gift". 

 

I've seen a lot of people put off by the Twin Frozr 970 on account of its lack of a backplate.

lack of a backplate.

 

IMHO, every GPU released today should have a backplate.

OK... I don't really care. As long as the PCB isn't like bright blue, or green, or beige or something.

If MSI comes out with a 980 Lightning, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[chutia]

Blue color scheme would be nicer!

They already confirmed they aren't unfortunately

It would be awesome if they made a cooler with plastic fibres that were connected to rbg led's controlled by their software. Like the r9 200 series make it black but instead of the red accents add the fibres with rgb control. That's probably not a great idea for cooling but some people would like the ability to have a nice looking card that fits in with their color scheme. At this point you are putting a lot of money into your build generally .... I like to show off my computer so it would be nice if it didn't look like someone tie dyed it lol.

If they truly listened to the customers they would include backplates

They are including a backplate on the GTX 970 100ME(the green one).

[G27Racer_188]

Now they just need to release GTX 970 Lightning. We need black/yellow graphics card. 

[Sharif]

Ahahahhahaha they added a back plate :lol:​

A blue and a purple would be great.  There aren't a lot of blue cards, not at least in color theme. Just a blue logo at most.

It's pretty rare you see blue themed builds let alone blue and a different alternate color besides black. I would love to see a blue and purple card, I think that would make things very interesting.

The 100E sounds like an improvement, a backplate and a "special gift". The only problem being... It's green.

[Nikeshp79]

Those are some sexy GPUs!

[ttam]

I'll be buying the 100ME nVidia version for the gift it comes with
